How to edit php pages similar to editing html files

I am familiar with editing of html files in frontpage to make modifications in fonts, change or add text, tables etc.
But what is the easiest way to do so for php pages.
For example how can someone edit fonts, table colours, add banner codes etc. on different pages of a script based site like

There are no html paged to edit! so editing php is only choice.
Is there any free or paid WYSIWUG editor for php pages similar to frontpage?
Help please.

Code (markup):

 

There is always some html mixed in there somewhere. You just need to dig in and find it. That being said, most of your attributes will be in you CSS file. So that's where I would start.

 

Thanks kampang and diytechblog. I have started digging using what you guys recommended.

 

seems more for html than php, no?

 

use a text editor to edit php files.
website builders will only screw up the php code.

anyways this question should be here, better suited in the php forum.

Thanks a lot Sawz
Since I am new to php world, I had no idea that a php section even exists.

 

Editing PHP files is very smilar to editing HTML files. PHP files just use exra functions. There are a lot of WYSIWYG editors out there aswell as text editors. If you can afford it, I would recommend Dreamweaver which makes the job a lot easier.

 

ur welcome

for php [ or coding script ] im using notepad++

 

from what I have seen so far it looks like there are not many options to edit php as easily as say a html file.

 

there's really only one option, using a text editor.

 

There are no WYSIWYG editors for PHP as most PHP scripts require a server or localhost, as PHP is a server side scripting code, and HTML is just client side.
If you want to edit the HTML of a php file I used to save the PHP file as HTML (PHP script will be disabled), this allows you to see the page as it was all HTML, then edit it. Don't forget to change it back to .php when you have finished

 

Thanks, thats a very important tip. I am now begining to get the hang of it
